Tobruk '41 any good?

[Mr Grumpy]

Welcome to the club.......

Like yourself I am a big desert war fan, personally I was disappointed with the Tobruk title when I bought it as it just didn't "feel right" for this period of the war, however the work Ed Williams aka Volcano Man has done in his _Alt versions of the scenarios with various PDT and OOB tweaks has made the title a much better product in my opinion and others may disagree with that, I personally worked with Ed on producing balanced _Alt versions of the Brevity and Battleaxe scenarios.

If you want to go right back to the beginning there is indeed a Compass 40 "add on" for Alamein 42 that covers the whole of the Compass campaign from the initial Italian invasion to the entire Compass campaign with 360 turns, again this was produced by Ed and I have actually played a chunk of the campaign H2H, I was the Commonwealth side and enjoyed the scenario, however my opponent while acknowledging that the scenario was an excellent piece of work found the fact that the Italians had nothing with which to even occasionally hit back with a bit discouraging.

I have never played TOAW so I cannot compare the two game systems.
